    Abstract: A method for reducing sounding overhead by shortening TB-PPDU duration for trigger-based implicit feedback and associated apparatus are provided, where a non-AP STA device is wirelessly linking to an AP device, and a number of sounding dimension of the non-AP STA device is less than a maximum number of spatial streams of the AP device. The method may include: transmitting a first frame regarding TB-sounding as well as a trigger frame, with at least one field of at least one frame among the first frame and the trigger frame being set to shorten the TB-PPDU duration; and receiving a sounding feedback having the TB-PPDU duration to be the trigger-based implicit feedback, for use of generating a beamforming steering matrix for transmission beamforming, wherein the at least one field is set to shorten a time for receiving a useless part within the sounding feedback, for reducing the sounding overhead.

    Abstract: A method for sounding-interval adaptation using link quality for use in an apparatus is provided. The apparatus includes a sounding transceiver. The method includes the following steps: periodically transmitting a sounding packet to a beamformee through a downlink channel from the apparatus to the beamformee according to a first sounding interval; in response to the sounding transceiver receiving a data packet or a report packet from the beamformee, obtaining a current first channel profile from the received data packet or the received report packet; and adaptively adjusting the first sounding interval according to a first mobility indicator which is calculated according to the current first channel profile and the previous first channel profile.

    Abstract: A method for sounding-interval adaptation using link quality for use in an apparatus is provided. The apparatus includes a sounding transceiver. The method includes the following steps: periodically transmitting a sounding packet to a beamformee through a downlink channel from the apparatus to the beamformee using a first sounding interval; in response to the sound transceiver successfully receiving a report packet from the beamformee to respond to the sounding packet, obtaining a current first channel profile from the report packet, and calculating a first LQ (link quality) value of the beamformee using the current first channel profile and a previous first channel profile; searching an LQ-mapping table using the first LQ value to obtain a second sounding interval; and adaptively adjusting the first sounding interval using the second sounding interval in response to a comparison result of the current first channel profile and the previous first channel profile.
